The Republic of Matamoros is a government-in-exile under the "perpetual tutelage"[1] of the Imperial Federation looking to restore the territories of the former State of Matamoros in the Anahuaco Empire.
Establishment
By the end of 1737 AN, Anahuaco had functionally ceased to exist as a result of the East Keltian Collapse. Despite efforts by the international community to evacuate the remaining population to other countries, many Matamorano citizens remained in the nation's former territories, either by choice or inability to leave. In the years that followed, a patchwork of local governments emerged to control what was left of the land and resources, particularly around the valuable ore deposits of the foothills and fertile fields of the coast. Santiago Alguacil, Imperial bureaucrat and a native Matamorano, looked at the situation his home state found itself in and saw an opportunity that could (in theory) benefit himself, his country, and his masters.
On 9.II.1743, Santiago Alguacil met with a group of Ralgonese bureaucrats and Anahuacano leaders in the Green to quietly form a provisional government in the former territories of Matamoros and begin drafting a constitution for the new nation. By 18.III.1743 the Provisional Government of the Republic of Matamoros had been established.
On 2.V.1743, the Imperial Constancian Ambassador to the Imperial Federation made formal representations to the Imperial Federation government that the Imperial State of Constancia was ready to offer all possible support to the fledgling Republic, and as a token of intent, turned over the cash equivalent of One Million Imperial Staters in several suitcases, with a note verbale confirming this arrangement, and that further funds would be forthcoming to the Republic through the good offices (and treasury) of the Imperial Federation.
Geography
The terrain of Matamoros is dominated by rainforests. These rainforests are some of the most biodiverse in Keltia, with over a million species of fauna documented within the area. In order to protect this ecosystem, a committee is in the process of being established by the PGRM in order to protect the habitats of the animals living in the jungles of the country.
The coastal regions are mostly plains cleared out over decades of settlement for use as farmland. These plains feed the majority of the people who live in Matamoros. Following the East Keltian Collapse, however, some of these plains have been reclaimed by the rainforest.
The hills to the far north, aside from serving as a basic form of frontier defense, are also home to the copper mines that generate much of the region's wealth.
Politics
Politics in the PGRM largely revolve around its President, Santiago Alguacil. While nominally checked by the other parts of the government, he has appointed their members and, as such, they are largely loyal to him. As of early 1743, the most significant organ of government in the Provisional Government is the Constitutional Committee, tasked with drafting the founding charter of the new nation.
Economy
The main priority of the economists in the PGRM is to re-establish the extraction of the copper mines in the country, providing Matamoros with its intended primary export to the Imperial Federation. Aside from this Matamoros currently has an agrarian subsistence economy owing to the lack of modern infrastructure or centralized planning in the Green. However, plans are being drafted to restore a basic level of infrastructure to the country's major land routes as soon as possible, if only to facilitate trade with the Federation.
